good point Roger, but how many of the abortions happening today are truly for those reasons? I would think the vast majority are being done by mothers who just dont want a baby and its an easy out. Even free in most intances. If abortion was truly being used for rape and risk to mothers and no other times, do you think we would be having this conversation?

Don't you think the number is entirely irrelevant to the point that a fundamentalist approach to the issue isn't the correct one?

Sure, the vast majority might. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't demand our elected officials to pass/change abortion laws to cover these situations.
When it comes to policy, the first thing I have to look out for is me and my family before I look at the "greater good". Before Roe v Wade was overturned, this was a larger moral issue for us but it didn't impact me and mine directly. Now it does. I've already called our state representatives to express my concerns over the subjectivity of the medical exemption, whether that does anything - who knows. Bottom line - the safety that Roe v Wade afforded us is gone.
